Whenever I get really stressed, I end up not thinking too clearly.
And this can often lead me to making some rather questionable decisions.
I tend to be a fairly calm and collected human being. But if I get really rattled, I tend to just be all sorts of stupid. And that’s the only thing that I can really chalk this HVAC disaster up to. I just was stupid. This past summer, I found myself faced with an HVAC situation that threw me for a loop. It had been a very long day at the office and all I wanted to do was come home to enjoy the central air conditioning in my chair. It was just that sort of day. I wanted to be out of the zone controlled HVAC of the office and in my home to relax. But when I came home, I found a house that was super hot and sticky. And that’s when it all started to go sideways. This was just the thing that I didn’t want to face that day. So perhaps my mind decided that maybe I wouldn’t have to face it at all if there was a simple fix to this HVAC problem. Once I found out that the HVAC equipment had power, I should have simply picked up the phone and called the HVAC company. But instead, I thought maybe I could fix the problem. But things got worse and worse the more rattled I became. I don’t know why I continued to keep messing with the residential HVAC after it was apparent that I was in over my head. But I did. Needless to say, I only made things worse and ended up having to call the HVAC professionals anyway. All I got was a bigger bill.
